POKE THE DEER! Had an incident several years ago where hunter from neighboring lease contacted game manager on place that I hunted then. Hunter told of huge buck that he had shot and trailed to property line.Manager took hunter and half grown lab that he was training to be a blood dog to find deer. When they found the deer, it was a puny 1.5 yr old basket rack that had been gut-shot and was still on his feet. Hunter took another shot and put deer down, but it was still kicking every once in a while. They put drag rope on deer and started out of woods with guns slung over shoulder. Lab pup would attack deer every time it kicked. Suddenly deer stood up and dog really attacked. Deer took of running in circles on the end of 12 foot rope. Dog was in full attack mode , and hunter hit the eject button leaving my friend to deal with the deer on the end of the rope.He finally got a tree between him and the deer with a wrap on the tree and took up slack till he had the deer snubbed off to the tree. Finished killing deer with knife. POKE THE DEER!
